Prime Minister: Every person who resigns from public service has the right to express his own personal point of view

ArmInfo. Every person who resigns from the public service has the right to express his own personal point of view. This was announced on September 16 in
Vanadzor by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, answering the question
about today's statement by the now former head of the National
Security Service of the Republic of Armenia, Artur Vanetsyan, who in
fact accused the authorities of sweeping actions and the absence of
differences between the primary and secondary.

Earlier today, the former head of the NSS announced his decision to
submit a statement on the dismissal as the head of the NSS of
Armenia. "I consider this decision in the current situation and in
the context of upcoming events to be the most preferable and most
justified option," said Vanetsyan, quoted by the NSS press service.
He noted that he made this decision so confidently, as decided to
head the National Security Service. Vanetsyan noted that his activity
for 1.5 years has always been in full view and completely dedicated
to serving the homeland. "State building has its own logic.
Spontaneous decisions, sweeping actions, and the absence of
differences between the primary and secondary are not the path that
leads to the achievement of goals. This has nothing to do with the
honor of the officer, his epaulettes and such a course of events are
incompatible. I hope my resign will be a sobering step: "Stop." In
all other cases, duty to the motherland will prevail, "Vanetsyan
wrote. He wished the country peace and security.

Meanwhile, as the Prime Minister said today, he is not familiar with
this statement by Vanetsyan. "I'll get acquainted and tell you my
answer," the head of government noted, adding that there are several
candidates for the post of head of the NSS, with whom relevant
discussions will be held. Nikol Pashinyan at a September 16 press
conference said that he had signed a resignation order to dismiss
Arthur Vanetsyan from the post of director of the NSS. The
corresponding decree, he said, will be published within one to two
days.
